54 / 55
If you don’t get a quorum, you can’t
vote on the change
Once you have your quorum, you need
a
Mover
(someone to say they support
the change) and a
Seconder
(someone
who supports the mover) for the change
you want to make.
The
Mover
gives the arguments in
favour of the change.
The Chairperson of the meeting then
asks if anyone wants to speak against.
If someone speaks against, the
Chairperson then asks if anyone else
wants to speak for the change.
And so it goes until each side has
been heard.
Two Way Governance: Presentation 19
Everyone at the meeting who is a member of the organisation signs the
register when they arrive. The secretary knows how many members =
60% and can tell the chairperson when there is a quorum.
